Emmy & Aissa came back in 2021 to the Next Gen competition in July with a Men in Black RD and a Star Wars FD - they had this unusual choreo slide and they did the curve lift that ends with her in a handstand on his boot that she's done with Jacob for 2 seasons in their FDs:
in the 2019/20 season, there was a 6 cm height difference between Emmy and Aissa, but they were nearly the same height by 2021. the lockdown and rinks being closed affected nearly all skaters, idk how much that year+ away affected them. they had moments at Next Gen where they looked very unified and others where their timing was off. she said there were a number of reasons they had decided to end, but these probably factored in?
omg little baby stars - the natural projection - such performers, his carriage, her exuberance and dance ability - she was only 13 here, about to turn 14. he was 17. the next season, they won Canadian Jr Nationals, ages 15/18:

Emmy & Aissa's Cabaret RD that season- they went to the Bavarian Open to prepare for 2020 Junior Worlds which was held just a week before lockdowns. they were 9th. after that was covid, and we didn't see them for over a year - they skated at Next Gen camp in July 2021 and announced the end of their partnership about a week later 😢
how are we feeling going into canadian nats next week lads? a general medium? wondering if gabby will implode again (she has pneumonia)? thinking about whether or not gogolev has grown another ten inches? how will lubov and charlie fare against kmt and partner? already missing the canadanes?
